Pull perf tools updates from Namhyung Kim:
"perf stat:
- Support new 'cluster' aggregation mode for shared resources
depending on the hardware configuration:
$ sudo perf stat -a --per-cluster -e cycles,instructions sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S0-D0-CLS0 2 85,051,822 cycles

- Various fixes and cleanups for event metrics including NaN handling
perf script:
- Use libcapstone if available to disassemble the instructions. This
enables 'perf script -F disasm' and 'perf script --insn-trace=disasm'
(for Intel-PT):
$ perf script -F event,ip,disasm

cycles:P: ffffffffa988d428 wrmsr
- Expose sample ID / stream ID to python scripts
perf test:
- Add more perf test cases from Redhat internal test suites. This
time it adds the base infra and a few perf probe tests. More to
come. :)
- Add 'perf test -p' for parallel execution and fix some issues found
by the parallel test
- Support symbol test to print symbols in given (active) module:
$ perf test -F -v Symbols --dso /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko
--- start ---
Testing /lib/modules/6.5.13-1rodete2-amd64/kernel/fs/ext4/ext4.ko
Overlapping symbols:
7a990-7a9a0 l __pfx_ext4_exit_fs
7a990-7a9a0 g __pfx_cleanup_module
Overlapping symbols:
7a9a0-7aa1c l ext4_exit_fs
7a9a0-7aa1c g cleanup_module

JSON metric updates:
- A new round of Intel metric updates
- Support Power11 PVR (compatible to Power10)
- Fix cache latency events on Zen 4 to set SliceId properly
Internal:
- Fix reference counting for 'map' data structure, tireless work from
Ian!
- More memory optimization for struct thread and annotate histogram.
Now, 'perf report' (TUI) and 'perf annotate' should be much
lighter-weight in terms of memory footprint
- Support cross-arch perf register access. Clean up the build
configuration so that it can detect arch-register support at
runtime. This can allow to parse register data in sample which was
recorded in a different arch
Others:
- Sync task state in 'perf sched' to kernel using trace event fields.
The task states have been changed so tools cannot assume a fixed
encoding
- Clean up 'perf mem' to generalize the arch-specific events
- Add support for local and global variables to data type profiling.
This would increase the success rate of type resolution with DWARF
- Add short option -H for --hierarchy in 'perf report' and 'perf top'"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
